If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: =?UTF-8?q?Dirk=20M=C3=BCller?= commit d2922422c48df93f3edff7d872ee4f3191fefb08 upstream. The cpu feature flags are not ever going to change, so warning everytime can cause a lot of kernel log spam (in our case more than 10GB/hour). The warning seems to only occur when nested virtualization is enabled, so it's probably triggered by a KVM bug. This is a sensible and safe change anyway, and the KVM bug fix might not be suitable for stable releases anyway.
